I suppose we could make the Hochmeister have chancelor-like powers, then vote them in each ten years. That would make the game more distinct from the separate Emperor/Chancelor system in KOTR.
Gibson and EF came up with this game, we'll have to see what they say.
What would military police do, clear our lands of rebels?
I think everyone involved is open to inew deas to make things interesting. :yes:
I'd be interested in trying new things, but I'm afraid that two chancellors would complicate and slow down the game, and making someone change characters would just be annoying to someone who's been developing the whole time. This system works well, I think.
But military police? What's that? It sounds intriguing.
Can I join as Admiral Friedrich?
Yep! I'll update the playlist.
when are we going to start?

Yeah, I think we're done. If you want to start the first turn, go for it!

gibsonsg91921, I don't think Warluster meant we'd switch characters, I think he had the idea of making the Order more centralized than KOTR, but still elective. With his idea, Hochmeister and Chancellor would be merged and have the powers of both, but a new player would be elected for the position each ten years, and we'd just ignore who the game gave the title to.
I'm going to start preparing, turn one may be a bit dull, but action should start turns 2-3! :2thumbsup:
Oh, and Meisters, I need build queues. If nothing comes in by the next, say 8 hours, I might just prioritize it roads/first level farms/port/merchants.
Just so you know, Palanga only has a fishing village. The Order starts with 2 ships that are almost useless in the early game. You could just sell them to save the upkeep.

Hmm, voting on a Hochmeister would be interesting. Where would the Hochmeister go after he's served his term, though? How do you decide which house? Why would his rank be less than that of the Meisters? It raises difficult questions.
I would like to know what military police do, it sounds interesting.
We can spend the next ten turns figuring out some of this, I guess. The next Diet might be more revolutionary that this one! :clown: I would guess they'd go back to their old Order, and mine would probably go back to Prussia, to even things out.
Calling all Meisters, I need build queues.
Haha, indeed!
I'm doing homework now, writing a paper about the MPAA rating system. If I work hard enough tonight I can get to it. However, if someone were to go on the game and PM me the options for Marienburg and Thorn, I'd be much obliged. Only if they were already on the game, I won't inconvenience anyone.
Writing the PM now.
Thanks! You have my undying gratitude.
just prioritize roads and farms in Livonia.

Hey guys, if no battles happen the first turn can I go ahead an move forward a turn or two?
Umm, tell us what happens (world events, buildings, recruitment) but u can go after u post that.
Ok. :yes: I'll go ahead and start in a bit, then, and post back here.
Alright. For the report, put it in the Council so we can react and respond IC.

just a quick post, u don't need to do one of the big chancellor reports like what happens in KOTR. we're too early on for long posts anyways
Done. We had an adoption offer for a very bad, disloyal general. I rejected him. I hope that's ok.
Money is very tight, so we need to decide whether to disband or conquer. Given that Lithuania starts with a few large, nasty looking armies, I'd go for the latter. We need those men.
I'd conquer. I ain't afraid of Lithuania, especially if my army is the one with those Dismounted Ritterbruder. I think it's Dietrich's, unfortunately, but Hans has a pretty nice army himself. We need to hit Lithuanian cities and get roads built everywhere.

Excellent! If you want to start the next turn nobody's stopping you, but if you don't have the time there's no rush.
Well I just threw the idea of MP around but...
I got the idea from the MP in WWII. As we don't have heaps of players now, we only have one MP.
The MP could be voted in, or perhaps chosen by Hochmeister? THey would then focus on destroying Rebels, keeping unhappy cities under control, escorting Allied Armies, that sort of thing.
We could change and add a few things but I reckon it sounds okay.
Yeah, that sounds cool! Let's wait until deguerra and RoadKill have avatars and then we can introduce the new position of Military Policeman and the Hochmeister can choose one for each Council session.
Ok, guys, turn two is done. We have two battles, one for Warluster and one for gibsonsg91921. It might be a bit ebfore I can upload the save(someone's using the comp with the good internet connection) but in the meantime I'll try to upload on my dial-up.
deguerra, you are officially Karl Scherer. He has no command stars yet, but is young (27), and has a few good traits (including marks of war, which gives hit points and authority if you ever become Hochmeister).
I should have rephrased that last post, gibsonsg91921, Halfbruder are our best current cavalry unit, but there is a mounted ritterbruder we'll get some day.
Sweet! I can't wait to fight 'er. When it's uploaded just post here, and I might be able to fight it tonight.
